H-E-B Opens New Store with Propane Refrigeration System
H.E. Butt Grocery Co., San Antonio, Texas, opened a new 83,000-square-foot store as part of the redevelopment of the old Austin, Texas, airport site. This entire redevelopment project focuses on sustainability and energy efficiency from the retail stores to the family housing units.
“It is just the way we operate our business,” says Bill Triplett, vice president of planning, design and construction. “Our vision is to move faster, save energy and be sustainable. HC [or hydrocarbon] refrigerants have my attention, and I want to move H-E-B in a different direction away from CFCs [chlorofluorocarbon].”
